    Default Hello from Prague, Czech republic

    Hello there,

    I am from Prague, Czech republic, middle of Europe. I love to use pens. I am a system programmer, creating software for one of the biggest mid-europe internet companies. One of these that google did not overcome in our country market . But my work is more more more clear with writing notes, diaries, meeting records etc with my pens. I love to use them, usually I have 3 with me, with different ink colors. I am building my collection, so now I have only 6 pens, but looking for another. Many years I had just 3.

    I also love classical music, I am playing violin. And I have almost 2 years old daughter. My wife is using 2 of her pens I gave her (Parker and Waterman)

    My greatest hobby is oil painting and photography. Photography was my main income for a few years, now it is just a hobby again.

    Thanks for this forum.

    Good day to everyone.

    Martin

    Welcome! Photography and pens, two great hobby's. Enjoy!
    0.5mm vs 0.7mm graphite sizes is much like 9mm vs 45acp...they both work if you know what you are doing. - me

    Welcome aboard! I find that taking notes on paper is so much more effective for me than using computer-typed notes. I too enjoy photography and classical music (but am limited in my skills and knowledge in both). I am glad to have discovered Janáček a few years ago.

    Thank you! Yes, they are, it is helping me to think about meaning, not just place some note. Great, these are super-hobbies. We are still learning all of us. That's great! I like Janáček very much. I studied music school named after him (JAMU - Janáčkova akademie muzických umění - Janáček's academy of musical arts). :-)

    Is that Czech Republic or Czechia for addressing envelopes? I have a few pen friends there, and I use both.

    Both are okay, Czechia is without a type of the state, I saw just Czech or CZ (which is international two letter abbreviation).

    I haven’t been to Prague in 3 years. I should fix that.

    Welcome from NYC! My favorite music group: Collegium 1704. Often wish I could see (and hear) them in Prague, http://www.collegium1704.com/en/

    However, youtube video has gotten me close to several Collegium / Vocale 1704 performances, including this gem: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rBjDEzApS74
